Body piercing is not an entirely new concept; ear piercing is one type of body piercing, and it has been around for hundreds of years already. Nowadays, though, the term body piercing not only refers to ear piercing but also to the piercing of other body parts, such as the nose, lip, navel, eyebrow, tongue, septum, nostril, navel, and genitals.
Among the biggest concerns of any one who may wish to have a part of his or her body pierced are the risks involved. Actually, it’s not a complicated procedure, at all, but since it is nonetheless invasive, there are risks of developing infections. You will experience bleeding and some drainage during the first few hours, and these are normal. However, when the discharge turns to yellow or green and there is some inflammation on the affected area, consult your doctor at once.
Depending on the body part to be pierced, the cost of a body pierce ranges between $25 and $100, and healing can be somewhere around six weeks to a year, depending also on the body part concerned.
Yes, it does hurt to get your body pierced, but the pain is tolerable. Some describe it as dull and aching, and may be relieved by over-the-counter pain relievers.
